"A very sweet rum in my mind, but fruity with light wood and vanilla. I use this one for desserts or baking."

"A solera rum with a dark color. A nose on caramel and Demerara sugar with a little side of cognac.The palate is sweet, too sweet with dried fruits.A too short but balanced finish.It lacks watts and depth."

"Riecht und schmeckt recht süß. Leichte würzige Noten. Hier wurde ganz sicher nachgesüsst. Der Abgang ist flach und dünn. Aus 18 Jahren hätte man bestimmt mehr machen können. Angesichts des Preises passt das aber alles gut zusammen."

"Behind this aesthetically pleasing bottle lies a Guatemalan rum, made with cane honey, that's just as honeyed. The nose features dried fruits, caramel, sweet spices and roasted wood, accompanied by a hint of tobacco. A classic profile that works well. The palate remains lightly fruity, with hints of toffee joining caramel and vanilla for sweetness, then pepper and roasted wood add a little warmth. A simple, diluted profile that lacks depth and complexity. The finish brings an unexpected touch of Demerara sugar, but is as simple as it is ephemeral. The quality/price ratio isn't horrible, but you get the feeling that this Botran is a marketing product first and foremost."
